IMPROVEMENT IN SHIRTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 43,622. dated July 19, 1864.

To (ZZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, SALOMON FRIBOURG, of the city of New York, in the State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Shirts; and I do hereby de' elare that the following is a full, clear, and

necktie, and lessen the expense of wearing that article.

My improvement consists in the production of a new article of manufacture-via, a shirt with the cravat attached thereto and forming a part thereof.

The drawings forming part of this specifitfon show how my invention can be carried out, Figure 1 thereof representing the upper portion of a shirt having the cravat, and Fig. 2, by vertical section, showing the relation of the pieces forming the collar and the band part of the cravat or necktie.

It will be noticed that instead of having the collar of the shirt made up, as is usual, of the two pieces of cloth or fabric continuous, the outer part consists of a portion of the cloth,

. and the piece which constitutes the band of the cravat. As that part of the collar made of the cloth is indicated in blue, and that part constituting the band is indicated in red, in the two figures of the drawings, letters are not required to mark and designate them. This band part, as is evident, can be attached to the other part in any of the usual ways of attaching or aflixing the one piece of cloth or fabric to another, and the band part can be made of silk or any other woven or knitted fabric, of india-rubber, leather, or any material susceptible of being so used which fancy or usefulness may suggest.

The knot or bow part of the cravat or tie maybe attached to the band part by a few stitches, by hooks, or by any means that will allow of its removal when the garment is to be washed, or for any other purpose.

This improved shirt can be made of any of the fabrics or materials used in making such garments, and it is obvious that by slight modifications not deviating from the range of this invention, whether by the addition of lappels, supplemental collar, pockets, or other appurtenances, the appearance of a vest may be imparted to this garment.

What I desire to secure by Letters Patent, and claim as a new article of manufacture,is--

The shirt with the cravat attached thereto and forming a part thereof, substantially as herein set forth.

This specification signed this 21st day of June, 1864..
